I’m taking the body lift off of my truck and the bolt holes aren’t lining back up. I’m doing it one pick at a time and I’ve gotten 2 of the 6 lined up. Guessing the only easy way is to jack the body up on both sides and slowly push and pull it around until everything lines up?

Body mount bolt holes not lining up

Loosen one side then do the other, but don't tighten and mounts till all are done
yup, loosen them all.. than jack up the ds or ps of the rig and remove that side... replace/jockey.. get bolts started.. repeat on other... tighten all...
That’s what I’ve been doing.
Then something is bent,and when you release tension it all moved.
Sometimes a ratcheting tie down strap can persuade things to line up better

What could possibly be bent on a 37 year old truck that was sitting for a decade haha.
Did you take out ALL of the pucks on the left or right side?

No. Was working my way down one at a time.
In another note, I seem to have lost one of the mounts so I had to order a new kit this evening.
